Ho! Ho! Ho! So there is a Santa Clause …
25 Dec 1996:
Yes - we think we've found ours in the form of Tandem Computers who have agreed to sponsor us with immediate monies for logistics and subsistance (real food enroute) for the trip to Peru, then further sponsorship for the Pacific crossing to Australia, This now means we will have the financing and the technology to keep in contact with all our web followers with text and images on our weekly updates.
To all our schools and many of the children through the Weekly Reader who are sharing the expedition through the web - we say " May Santa bring you everything you ever wished for. Have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy new year !"
The boat Moksha is currently resting in the Monterey Maritime Museum waiting for a clean-up before receiving visitors officially in the new year. However she will be happy to see you over the vacation if you are passing through.
Jason, Stuart and new helper Oliver from France are spending Christmas and New Year in Sausalito being well looked after by friends. In early January Jason is on the road again.
Keep checking the updates - ‘click, click!’ and see you in ’97. In the meantime we leave with you with some festive food for thought….
